¹ Gifts should, in general, be refused, but gifts and benefits of a trivial or inexpensive nature (such as calendars and other gifts of a small monetary value) can be distinguished from more expensive and substantial offers. Staff must report offers of gifts, hospitality, awards, decorations and other benefits, through line managers, to their personnel sections who will advise on acceptance. A Declaration of Interest Form should be completed.

² There are no set minimum or maximum levels for accepting hospitality from external stakeholders. Guidelines state that staff: ...should accept hospitality only when this can be defended as being in the interests of the Department’s business – for example, because significant relationship-building is a business aim. When offering hospitality funded by the Department Of Health the following maximum allowable rates apply: £40 Lunch, £50 dinner. Does not normally include attendance at functions hosted by HM Government; ‘diplomatic’ functions in the UK or abroad, hosted by overseas governments; minor refreshments at meetings, receptions, conferences, and seminars; and offers of hospitality which were declined.
